Energy & cost savings over time
Elevates and integrates energy
into normal business systems,
as has happened for safety & quality
Involves staff from the board
room to the shop floor:
Organizational change in culture
Energy Management System (EnMS)

approach
Systematic energy management
leads to continual improvements
in energy and cost performance

ISO 50001–Energy Management Systems (EnMS)
International standard that draws from best practices around the world.
Developed with input from 56 countries, many countries now adopting it as
a national standard.
ISO 50001 specifies
requirements for establishing,
implementing, maintaining
and improving an EnMS.
Light blue text represents new data-driven sections in
ISO 50001 that are not in ISO 9001 & ISO 14001
It does not prescribe
specific energy performance
improvement criteria.

SEP is a DOE certification program that
verifies energy management excellence and
sustained energy savings.
SEP is ISO 50001 plus:
Deeper, sustained savings at less cost
through robust tracking and measurement
with advanced tools
Credible, third-party verification by ANSI-
ANAB accredited entity that market can
reward supply chains, utilities, and carbon
trading
National recognition by U.S. DOE
identifying sustainability leaders

SEP is building workforce capacity for energy management
implementation and measurement & verification.
Training and skill are required for appropriate application of the ISO 50001
and SEP standards, and to conduct the SEP certification audit.
Certified Practitioners in EnMS (CP EnMS):
Help facilities implement an ISO 50001
energy management system and prepare to
meet SEP requirements.

Certified Professionals that Support SEP
SEP Lead Auditors:
Assess a facilities energy management
system conformance to ISO 50001 and
additional SEP requirements
SEP Performance Verifiers:
Assess a facility’s conformance to the
(1) measurement and verification
protocol and (2) SEP energy

SEP Expansion: Implementation across
multiple facilities to reduce costs
Companies are testing strategies to implement SEP across multiple facilities
and benefit from economies of scale.

• An initiative of the CEC in partnership with
– Natural Resources Canada
– Comisión Nacional para el Uso Eficiente
de la Energía
– US Department of Energy (USDOE)
Superior Energy Performance program.
• The CEC facilitates cooperation to foster the
conservation, protection, and enhancement
of the North American environment for the
benefit of present and future generations.

North American Energy Management Program
Commission for
Environmental
Cooperation
Canada, Mexico and the
United States created the
CEC in 1994 as part the
North American Agreement
on Environmental
Cooperation, a side
agreement to NAFTA.
20
Elements of the Program
A collaborative initiative between the U.S., Canadian and Mexican governments, national standard bodies, industry, and cities will strive to:
1. establish an accreditation system for ISO 50001 auditors and SEP programs recognized throughout North America;
2. jointly develop tools and training to assist end users to adopt ISO 50001 and SEP across North America; and
3. demonstrate the benefits of ISO 50001 and SEP through pilot projects focused on the North American truck and bus supply chain, municipal facilities, and other segments of the commercial and industrial sector agreed to by participants.
Objective: Accelerate energy and cost savings and
reduce GHG emissions in industrial and commercial
sectors through energy management training to
implement ISO 50001 standards and Superior Energy
Performance (SEP).
The aim is to train 15 large companies with facilities
across North America.
